The Beginning OF the End,

The beginning of diseases is slight
debility or disorder of some of the vital
organs, the stomach, the liver or the
bowels usually. There are dyspeptic
symptoms, the liver is troublesome, the
skin grows tawney and unhealthy looks
ing, there are pains in the right side or
through the right shoulder blade, The
climax is often an utter prostra.jon of
the physical energies, perhaps fatal
issue. But if the difficulty is met in
time with IIostetter's Stomach Bitters.
which is always effective as remedy,
and it should be resortcd to at an early
stage, there win be no reason to appre.
hend those injurious subsequent effects
upon the system often entailed by en-
tirely cured diseases. Far better is it,
also, TO employ this safe remedial agent
in fever and ague, and other malarial
complaints, than quinise and other
potent drugs, which, even when they do
prove effectual for time, ruin tie
stomach and impair the general health.

Discovered Ihe Treasures of Monte
CrlstO,
FoRr WoRTH, TEX, April 16.-Sunday
morning two men drove up TO the resi-
dence Of William Tubbs, Sr., living four
miles north Of Crawford, and said they
wished to see the man OF the house, to
whom they made the following disclosure:
In 1865 an Indian woman, fearing that
she would be plundered by Yankee raid
era, buried an iron vessel containing
81 900 In gold under corner of the
house now occupied by MIR. Tubbs. Upon
moving away abe concluded IL was safest
to leave.it where 1t was. Upon her DEATH
bed short time ago she revealed the se-
cret to the two men just spoken Of and
in return for kindness shown her by these
parties she bequeathed to them the buried
treasure, requesting Mr.. Tubbs' permis.
sion to dig under his house. They all
proceeded to the house and commenced
to dig on the spot indicated by the In
dian woman.
The iron pot was unearthed. In the
vessel was found canvas bag containing
large amount of gold coin, exactly how
much Mr.. Tubbs is unable TO state -pos-
sible 81 600 or u 800.
After the above facts had become gem
orally known Captain Bewley, who lives
near Mr.. Tubbs, said that on last M onday
afternoon while plowing in field near
his house he saw sticking in the earth q
shining substance. Upon investigation
IL proved to be 800 gold piece. He
thought nothing strange of this. AS he
| plowed ON he found more gold pieces,
and he was no aroused upon the subject
that he called his help, Ed Carpenter,
from another part of the field. By night.
fall they had succeeded all together in
picking up 282 $40 gold pieces, which
amounts to 90, $40.
This startling discovery has set the
country wild and every person who owns
as much as ten acres of ground has gont
to digging for gold. Slack Henson, who
was in town Monday, says he found $3t
in Confederate money in an old Boii
dare stump on his place. The next do,
he was offered $l00 an aore for his place
but he refused to sell. In l849 th,
Tonkawa Indians sold to the Texas gov
ernment part Of their reservation TO
1000 in gold. As the tribe were en-
camped for about nine months abou
where Captain Bewley's farm is, it
probable that they hid part or all 0
this money where they then were.
